Unbreakable Bonds | No Man Left Behind


I think if you want to know the story of
Black Hawk Down then go look it up on
the internet or go watch the movie read
mark bounds book you’ll get a great
historic version of what’s happening and
you’ll get a bit a bit of a human
perspective and sure Ridley Scott set
out to tell a human story
I’ve got no desire to tell you the
history of Black Hawk Down what I want
you to know is about the example that
these guys set and I hope that that
inspires you because I know what people
are capable of doing and I would love it
if if you would go out there and live up
to what you’re capable of doing I just I
think it’s better for all of us if you
were to hear this story and you were to
sit down with Randy or me or you were
sit down with Mike and hear his story
about all those days in captivity it
would be personal to you and you would
have a whole different perspective it’s
not just a historic event you know Iwo
Jima isn’t just something that happened
in a history book Normandy was not just
a big event it there were people and
these were these were stories and every
bomber that ever flew over Europe had
guys in it and they all had a story and
they had a life and why did they do what
they did and then at the end when it
comes down to it they did what they did
for each other and again I think it’s a
shame that out here in the real world it
takes something like somebody dying and
us making it out of something where
others didn’t for us to realize that
that’s what it’s about that’s why we’re
on this planet is to take care of each
other you know you’re not put here to
take care of yourself it’s not that was
not the point you’ve been given all
kinds of gifts and tools and weapons and
skillsets and what are those for
they’re not for you to go
there’s nothing wrong with having a big
bank account but that’s not why you have
those your gifts are given to you only
to the extent of how you help others and
that’s I really think that you learn
that in an environment where it’s as
close to tighten it as the Rangers of
the SAS of the Marine Corps the Delta
teams SEAL Teams I think you learn that
when you’re you know how much you have
to count on each other and you want it
back I think it sounds like we none of
us miss the job but we all miss each
other
